He had to state he has a cpl even if your not carrying it's the law. I also work for wm and got the same ticket a month ago in Novi. I was in an industrial area and the cop still wrote me a ticket. Best bet for your dad is to pay the ticket and tell Chris (I assume that's his supervisor) that he got the ticket and can't be back there until after 7am.

Why disclose if you are not carrying? The officer will know when he runs you through the computer. Law states you only need to identify if you have a weapon. You dont get extra credit for offering irrelevant information.

People with CPL's DO commit crimes. A low rate, but it still happens. Disclosing even if you're NOT armed will not end up with him being surprised that you COULD be armed when he goes back to do the check.

I know a couple of guys that weren't carrying and didn't inform during a stop . They got the pat down stuffed in a cruzer and watch their truck get searched. Although not right it may have went differently if they would have said something ?
Always check you tags when coming out of a bar in a rough area...

sounds like they would have been searched no matter what, using the not identifying as a probable cause is really weak. If the officers would have found anything a good attorney could have had the search thrown out, just say'n
